The Avid Systems Power Platform Internship Program provides students and early-career professionals with hands-on experience exploring the technical foundations of the Microsoft Power Platform and Dynamics 365 ecosystem. Through structured prototyping and internal innovation labs, interns gain exposure to modern low-code development, cloud architecture, and the professional lifecycle models used to support federal, state, and local government clients.

Exploring AI in the Public Sector

While government agencies have unique security and compliance standards, evaluating and prototyping AI features is a core part of our modernization strategy. As an intern, you will participate in testing how emerging AI tools and Copilot capabilities can responsibly solve real-world challenges within highly regulated environments.
‍
Our approach focuses on integrating predictive models, automated data extraction, and generative AI into secure Azure Government and GCC environments to meet FedRAMP authorization and federal security mandates.
